I totally agree with Bruce here. IMO, the best demo MP3's are the simplest musically. For a good Clone demo, all you really need
is to hear chord held for 10-15 seconds, pull out and push in some drawbars slowly, kick in the Leslie on Choral and let it churn at
least 10 seconds, kick it up to Fast and back down to Slow several times, and then to Stop, add percussion and play a simple blues
scale a couple times, and maybe a couple of 'Hammondesque smears & chops' to show it off a little - well, you get the idea. Keep it
fairly simple so we can hear the tone and effects and not focus on the playing.
One of my favorite demos that I always thought did a great job of showing off what the instrument could do is the demo called
"Katana" on Korgs' CX-3 page. It certainly helped my decision to buy a CX-3.

....A top-notch player like Joey DeFrancesco can make a $99 Casio sound awesome. But it also tends to move the focus from the sound
of the instrument to the sound of the player, a variation on bait-and-switch, IMHO. I'd rather hear the basic organ sound, because
there are only three good reasons to drop one clone for another: better sound, better ergonomics, or better portability.
Everything else is just gear lust.
